I look at driving mine the same way I look at sex. I do it as often, and for as long as I can.

I drove mine everyday, as a DD for 4 years. Now that I'm retired, believe it or not, once or twice a week. 07'- 42,000 Miles's

It really varies a lot how many times a week I drive my Vettes. The nicer the weather is the more days that I drive a vette. The lousier the weather is the more days I drive another car. Most commonly 3-4 days a week I'm drive the vette, but some weeks every day and some weeks zero days.

3-4,000 miles per month.

It gets better. 55.5 cents per mile.
Smiling all the way to the bank.

Bonus? I have a buyer for the car when it hits 200K.

Then I might buy another of your guys low mileage Corvette.
You know, one of the cars on this forum which belongs to somebody who is afraid to drive it because it might depreciate.
Or might get rained on.
I will drive it in the rain or shine, snow? Yep.
Then pass it along after 200K.

Although my 012 coupe is a DD, it usually only gets driven about 5-7 times a week, for about 6K to 8K miles a year.

2-3 times a week as long as the roads are free of snow, ice and salt.
